José Miguel Moreno was born in Madrid and began his musical studies with his father. During his training period, he won, among others, first prize at the Incontri Chitarristici di Gargnano (Italy, 1977). He has specialized in historical performance and has a very wide repertoire (from the 16th century to the early 20th century), which he plays on period instruments: vihuela, Renaissance and Baroque guitar, Renaissance and Baroque lute, theorbo and classical-romantic guitar, all of them originals or reliable copies. In this field, José Miguel Moreno is unanimously recognized as one of today's leading specialists.
This special performance of Vihuela and Baroque guitar music will be performed in the round.
This concert is co-presented by Instituto Cervantes and the Spanish National Centre for the Promotion of Music (part of the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport’s National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM)), in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in the United Kingdom. It is part of Proyecto Europa’s Beyond the Spanish Golden Age programme, and falls within Spain's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, with funding from the European Union’s NextGenerationEU
